Hello,

First you should know I was an addcit for 20 years to other drugs..so I have experience ..but not all the anwers. I am 41 male clean for 9 years.

The decision to discontinue therapy with subutex after a period of . Both gradual and abrupt discontinuation have been used, but no controlled trials have been determined of which is the best method of dose taper at the end of treatment.

Since subutex has such a long half life, is to spread the taper over a few months so that both body and mind can deal with it and lessen withdrawals---

FORM MY EXPERIENCE WITH DRUGS BELOW THE THEORY... BOTH COMBINED WILL SET YOU FREE===

Ok you have done the hardest part from 1mg you divided it. Ok that is good.-

All this is very difficult but there is nothing impossible in life my friend if you have the strengh, faith and will power.-

Two things come to mind you stop taking .5mg am and continue for 4 to 5 days with .5mg pm.

We want to get to that quarter and then 0, so after those 5 days you stop using one day..to experience withdrawals or not , you might have them, you might not, after that day you take a quarter for 5 more days pm and then 0.=

And you should be free... something similar I did with coke and other subs and it worked... but I did experience withdrawals... just have to be strong and keep busy at all times.- Regretfully at one point you will have to be monitored by your doctor.-

Advice, I was in rehab for 1 year, you will need a safety support network... good friends, your family and maybe joinig an addict group, I know this last one you will not like ... but it will help you, my freind.-

THEORY..IT DOES HELP TOO

Detox using subutex has three basic phases.

The first phase, called the induction phase, generally occurs after the person has been without opioids for twelve to twenty-four hours and has early withdrawal symptoms. During this phase, you are monitored in a physician’s office and the dosage level determined (YOU CAN NOT DO THIS).

The second phase, called the stabilization phase, occurs when you have stopped other opiate drug use and no longer has cravings or suffers other side-effects from discontinued use. Then you continue to take subutex during this phase. The final phase is called the maintenance phase. This occurs when you are doing well and is taking a steady dosage of subutex. This phase can last a very short period of time or indefinitely.

Subutex should be carefully monitored as you are weaned from the drug. Dosage levels should be tapered gradually during detox in what some providers call a step-down program and never “cold-turkey” unless you are in a rehab setting like I was. Overall, subutex is a safe.-

I wish you the very best and hope for a very special friend to also answer this question... he knows who he is.-

Be free. As I am now... life is great.-

I am over the moon this answer has just been marked as helpful on my helpful answers ... we are on the right track... fantastic for you my friend.-

Thank you for your help!!! I just have one more question. Being that at about 12 hours now im sick do you think i should wait a while before I go down to .5 a day? We are going on vacation on the 19th and I don’t want to be sick. Also it’s been 17 days now since I started bupernererine (don’t have the bottle out and can’t spell on a good day) would you in my situation wait until after the vacation or start now? I will be sick for the day for a wail. I’m pretty sure though. Your answer has taken a wait off my shoulders. My hubbie doesn’t want me to check myself in ant ware because he knows his mother will fined out. She has no patience for things like this, and has never been depressed a day in her life. Also I don’t go a day or mine without talking to her. I know it’s not right but that’s another topic

Ok, just this once due to your circumstances do it after your vacations, you also need to enjoy life, but as soon as you get back you start the "treatment".

It has been 12 hours since you have been on.5, it is usually is 24 hours, but for know continue how you were, just this time, take the other .5 now- am/pm. 12 hours has given you an idea of what to expect... it will be hard..I mentioned that..do not be in pain anymore.-

we have a 2 year old who im with 24 hours a day. She even sleeps with us!!! Also since I told my husband about this whole thing he has tried to be as patient as he can. I stress as he can. Maybe at that time on the 24th my body will be more adjusted and it won’t be so hard to come down .5. Who knows. Thank you again. I really need to enjoy a vacation with my hubbie. I hope when im done with this I will be here for people like me to help as you do. I would be in a constant panic attack if I couldn’t talk to all of you.
